U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ISSUES PRIVACY SHIELD CERTIFICATION TO TV DATA COMPANY ALPHONSO

Verifies Alphonso’s Strict Compliance with Privacy Best Practices

Mountain View, CA, Oct. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TV data company Alphonso announced today that it has been Privacy Shield-certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce.  Privacy Shield provides a framework that allows companies to transfer data to and from the European Union in full compliance with the EU's newly revised General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").  To become certified, companies must demonstrate that they have all of the policies and practices in place to be fully compliant with GDPR. At the time of its certification, Alphonso is the only company offering TV-to-digital retargeting or real-time TV ad analytics to be granted Privacy Shield certification. 

“By taking the extra step of becoming certified, all of our clients and partners can be confident that we have a verified solution in place to meet privacy requirements,” said Ashish Chordia, chief executive officer and co-founder, Alphonso. “Privacy Shield certification is the next step in our goal to not only be transparent about our privacy practices, but to also be an industry leader in privacy best practices.”
